The true start of and acceptance of folding phones is only two days away.
I doubt it. It costs $3000 I'm told.This isn't even "filters /g/ poorshits" territory, this will filter pretty much everyone below the middle class - a demographic we've been plundering out of existence for decades now.
>>109753896Don’t be retarded. Poors get phones through finance programs with their cell service provider.
>>109753866Only 2 more time units
>>109753866No one ever asked for a folding phone.
>>109754083I’m pretty sure there’s at least one person on earth who asked for a folding phone. In fact, I’m willing to go out on a limb and suggest that MORE than one person has asked for a folding phone.
>>109753914Yes, they do. But instead of it being $50/mo, it's now $250/mo. This is still something well outside the financial reach of a /g/ poorshit whose exclusive income for their entire so-called lives will be welfare checks and "economic stimulus payments" every 20-30 years
>>109754134I’m not talking about you retards. Nothing you like matters. I’m talking about normies with jobs.
>>109754137What would you know about normies with jobs? You've ignored everything I've said so far, demonstrating a clear lack of knowledge of the subject.Indeed, after this post, I'm starting to think you're just another /g/ poorshit LARPing as anything other than a welfare parasite - poorly.
>>109753866why should I buy some shit phone when my XCover 7 Pro with an OPRTR case is the best contender out there?there are no other mobile phones with user-replaceable batteries that have an IP rating of 68 and have been combat provenXCover 7 Pro + OPRTR + chestrig mount + ATAK = best thing ever
>>109753896nobody pays for their iphone up front, it gets rolled into their monthly phone bill, then when they want the new hotness they trade in and start all over$3000 is just a 3x longer loan and a fuckhuge spike in interest payments
>>109754570No, he’s clearly right. According to his later posts you are “larping”. I’m sorry that he’s right and you’re wrong.
use case for your phone folding?I have never wanted this
Cool but I'm not interested until I can get a flagship foldable from Apple that's under $1000.
>>109754668When will generationally welfare dependent autistics realise their opinions don't matter?
>>109754668Try thinking for 5 seconds, think about the benefit of a small screen that folds out into a large screen when you want it to.
>>109754692i'm a senior dev, I am the highest class of our society, I see no need for thismaybe some poors want this on finance to show they have the latest bing bing toy
>>109754668increased sales due to reduced longevity
>>109754701"Senior devs" are imported brownoids being replaced by AIs. Try a better LARP.
>>109754765yeah yeah they have tried to replace me with indians for decades, good luck you poorHonestly whatever either way, I have enough savings to semi retire
>>109754780You can't retire on NEETbux, anon.Even if you could, it raises suspicions when people retire at 19.As mentioned, you might want to try a different LARP - this one has failed critically.
>>109754990you really are mad I called your little toys useless aren't you
>>109755005"Senior dev" everyone, "rich enough to retire" everyone - yet falls into the exact same Redditspeak "insults" that underages on this board do when cornered.Too easy. Just too damn easy.
>>109755038it's ok you can buy your bing bing wahoos on credit to show off to other retards I won't stop you. Haha my phone folds!!
The screen crease will never be solvable. Fundamentally dogshit technology.
>>109755369Quite possibly, but at this price, it's more a fashion accessory than anything else - the amount of fundamentally unsolvable fashion we've seen over the last 20-30 years proves it isn't an issue for that type of customer.
Ok yeah you’re all such smart sys admins or whatever. I hope you have fun at the furry convention. I’m still going to buy it.
>>109757161anyone smart is laughing at you buying the stupid gimmick anon, you are impressing the left of the iq curve
>>109757161It's far from my cup of tea - but you can do whatever you like anon. It's your money after all, and I'm not some screaming poorshit seething that you spent your money on something you want, instead of wasting it on food stamps for my insatiable gaping maw, or welfare checks I trade at 20c in the dollar so I can shoot up, like most of /g/ is.
>>109754668You can make a clapping sound with it when you're bored
>>109754668increasing profit margin massively on 5 year old technology by adding useless shit to it
>>109753896>this will filter pretty much everyoneAnon it filtered you that's for sure. You think poors aren't getting these phones on plans?Idiot.
>>109754134>$250 a monthIgnoring the mobile service part that would be paid off waaaay too fast anon you really are dumb. Like holy shit you're stupid. These people are on 24-36 month plans.
>>109754668I recently got my first folding phone and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. Reading manga is pretty nice with two pages up at a time and things like maps are great with the expanded screen real estate.
>>109757623>>109757629I heard your childish whining the first time around. It doesn't bear repeating.
>>109753866until this dogshit has an sd card its just a meme. even lenovos (((Graphene))) which i am considering getting is still a meme without one either.
>Tim Cook pulled the eject handle and retired right before this 9999$ foldable abomination is to be releasedkek Tim knew this was a giant pile of shit and left the bag for the new guy
>>109753866Anyone gonna address the elephant in the room that folding screens feel like shit to the touch? Like plastic screen protectors, fucking yikes.
>>109757822>sd cardLuddite retard
>>109754668Pulling out my 10" iphone in front of your girl.
>>109754700>a small screen that folds out into a large screen when you want it to.I don't want this, at all, ever. I want a smaller phone like the 12mini. I already have an iPad and laptop if I need a bigger screen.
>>109757629A $2600 phone is $100+ just for the device on a 24 month contract, plus maybe another $50 for service. He's not all that wrong.
>>109753866I can afford a bugatti and I'm still rocking my 15 pro. I see no reason to upgrade yet.
>>109761903Same. They're going to need a waaay better camera and battery life for me to upgrade. Screen size and performance are more than enough now.
>>109759703Ok. Just put your laptop or iPad in your pants pocket then.
>have iphone>too small to do any serious work on>absolute ass for inputting data>buy foldable iphone>open it up>twice as big>still too small to do any serious work on>still absolute ass for inputting dataWhat will I be able to do with two cellphone screens next to each other that I couldn't do with the one?
>>109753896Rich, gaudy products are actually the prime domain of the upper middle class. The manager class herding their wagies need products that make them feel truly above the cattle they mingle with.
>>109765060Why are you trying to work on a phone?
>>109765213>Why are you trying to work on a phone?Why are you so fucking nosy?
>>109765060but what if you make the other half a keyboard
>>109759572How else would you expand your storage?
>>109765223You said you were trying to do something really stupid, so I wanted to know why.
>>109765248What are you storing on your phone that you need to expand your storage for?
>>109765262My DCIM folder. And games.
>>109765229>but what if you make the other half a keyboardA hardware keyboard would be great. A software touchscreen keyboard would be gay. If it has an actual hardware keyboard or gamepad or something I'll take back my "this is a piece of shit that's only about 8% more useful than the regular iphone" thought on the matter.>>109765255That doesn't answer my question. It just reiterates yours. For my reply to your original question see my [nosy fuck] comment.
>>109765272>gamesAre you a child?
>>109765278Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll rephrase it. I’m being so fucking nosy because I want to understand why you would want to do something so fucking stupid.
>>109765285>Games? Are you a child?Okay there, Mr. Grumpypants lolAll the guy said was "Games.">>109765296>I want to understand why you would want to do something so fucking stupid?How is it stupid?
>>109765285>>109765296Oh look, one minute apart. The nosy guy and the guy who hates games are the same guy. What a curmudgeon.>grrrr>that's stupid>games are stupid>everything's stupid>I'm mad all the timelol who's a child?
>>109765304It’s stupid to try and work on a tiny device made for consumption. You should work on a PC or laptop.
>>109765330>It’s stupid to try and work on a tiny device made for consumption. You should work on a PC or laptop.Okay. Will do.
>>109765342Ok good. Then we are in agreement that your post >>109765060 was fucking stupid and had nothing to do with the subject.
>>109765285As we all know, shitposting on 4chan is an esteemed adult pastime.
>>109754341>hole in the screene-waste
>>109764977Why? I carry a backpack anyway.
>>109753866I'd love it if the bottom half had a keyboard instead of just more touch screen.
>>109764977(Yes it can make phone calls.)
>>109753866I'm going to fold you in half and fuck you like I want you to die
>>109765262music, books, manga, anything nigger, why the fuck cant i add storage to my own fucking device?
>>109753866I'd say it's up your ass. But I won't look there.
>>109768787Why are you storing niggers on your phone? Also, why aren’t you storing this all on your home NAS and accessing it remotely?
>>109768787well it's a security risk for one and also gives more surface for water and dust to get in the phone, lowering its water and dust resistance
>>109769782>um excuse me goyim why aren't you using 5g to constantly cook thigh!do you know what battery life is retard? sd card readers are like a cm, shut the fuck and add it.>>109769845so put the damn thing as part of the case, i dont care. I'm not taking my phone for a swim like you retarded faggots, and i have never needed to dust any phone i own. >s-securityfuck off prismjew
>>109769860why don't you just use a usbc flash drive ffs
>>109769876because i dont want to shorten my phones life span with shit that sticks out of it you complete fucking moron
>>109769860Oh. You’re a luddite.
>>109769919lmao the battery will give way long before that
>>109769922>you luddit!!!!! breaking your usb port is hip!>>109769934unlike you i actually have shit I do and the usb port is always the most fragile thing on every phone. thats part of why passive charging is so popular. beyond that its uncomfortable to if its facing the wrong way, its difficult to add to things unlike an sd card which can move from thing to thing, and again, THERES NO REASON NOT TO HAVE AN SD CARD READER ON ANY PHONE BUT GREED
>>109753896Anybody who buys a phone that costs more than high-end desktop PC because of a stupid gimmick is unfathomably retarded.
>>109753896>the middle class - a demographic we've been plundering out of existence for decades now.The Plundering of the Middle ClassThat would make for an excellent title for a book
I just want picrel but 5g. Thats it
>>109769957Going off your posts in this thread you aren’t doing any important shit.
>>109770210i have whats known as a job you neet
>>109770297Do your employers know you’re a weird pedophile?
>>109770340no greater dogwhistle for pedos than calling someone who posts anime one. kys kidfiddler.
>>109769984>more than high-end desktop PC Okay, UNC lets get you back to bed
>>109754100I asked for (bought) a folding phone and it was fucking garbage and failed exactly where you think it would: the foldmaybe apple has solved that problem but after experiencing it firsthand I don't see any benefit for the gimmick. it just doubles the thickness of your phone.
>>109753896niggers will literally starve themselves to death just to find the shadiest loan shark that will let them borrow money for the latest Jordans
>>109753866imagine your life being so fruitless that you get excited for a phone. A PHONE lol. you people are retarded. hahahaha.
>>109753896iToddlers would rather starve to death before they miss the next big Apple product.
Told you.
